The host of fast travel, she always wants to be lazy

Chapter 45 Cousin Cousin (11)

The Queen Mother moved quickly.

Three days later, the lists and portraits of the noble daughters of the major families were collected.

The sun was shining after a long absence, so the Empress Dowager invited Qiao Rong to sit in the Imperial Garden in the afternoon, and helped pick out those portraits along the way.

Qiao Rong went happily.

Sitting in the small pavilion with the queen mother, the maidservant helped to make tea.

The Empress Dowager said to Qiao Rong while sipping tea: "Ai's house has just been flipped through, and they all look pretty good, but I don't know what your cousin will like."

As he said that, he looked at the brightly dressed little girl, couldn't help but smiled, pointed to those portraits and said, "Ah Rong, take a closer look to see if there's anything eye-catching."

The queen mother really felt sorry for the little girl.

The little girl is delicate and soft, and her voice is not loud. She has gone through so many things and is seriously ill, but there is no worry in her brows, her eyes are bright, and her smile is as sweet and soft as a piece of pastry.

The queen mother couldn't help thinking.

If the emperor treats women equally and regards them as air, then it's better to choose a few who are close to each other, so that they can also accompany Ah Rong in the palace in the future.

After all, with Ah Rong's body, she doesn't expect her to marry anymore.

As for the emperor... It's simply a fantasy for his son to fall in love with, and it's just a matter of leaving a few to pass on to the family.

The Queen Mother sighed slightly.

Qiao Rong never expected that the harem that was originally intended for Qi Yan would be quietly converted into a group of best friends for her by the Queen Mother.

She took those portraits curiously and looked at them carefully one by one.

While watching, she asked Qiuqiu in her heart: "A special lady, what do you mean by being special? Is it her looks?"

Qiuqiu replied: [Hey, host, I don’t even know about it~]

Qiao Rong: ...

Qiuqiu continued: [If the host can't see it from the portrait, why not wait until the plum feast to find it. 】

Qiao Rong thinks that's fine, but it's better to recognize someone familiar from the portrait first, so as not to be confused about who is who later.

Qiao Rong continued to look at each one seriously.

Seeing her concentrated look, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile: "Why do you see so carefully? Did you see anything?"

Qiao Rong raised her head and smiled slightly: "I just think these ladies are beautiful in their own way, and my cousin should like them."

The queen mother smiled when she heard the words, and was about to speak.

A clear and lazy voice came: "...Oh? How did my cousin know that I would like it?"

The Queen Mother and Qiao Rong were stunned for a moment, and looked sideways.

Qi Yan stood outside the pavilion, stroking the jade pendant around his waist with one hand, and behind his back with the other.

He glanced sideways slightly, looking at Qiao Rong, and a glint of darkness quickly slid across his eyes.

He lowered his eyelashes slightly to cover the surging emotions in his eyes, and his thin lips curled up slightly, showing a smile that was not a smile: "...Since my cousin is so confident, let me also come and see these ladies ...how beautiful."

After speaking, he walked into the small pavilion and sat down beside Qiao Rong.

The Queen Mother was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her son would be interested in these noble ladies, so she hurriedly said: "Then Yan'er, come and have a look. Ai Jia and Ah Rong have already roughly selected a few, but in the end it's up to you." You just have to like it."

Qi Yan tilted his head slightly, looked at the Queen Mother, and smiled warmly: "My son will watch, but I heard that the Queen Mother had a cold yesterday, so I invited the head of the Imperial Hospital to come over, and I guess it is almost time for the Queen Mother to sleep, so the Queen Mother should go back to see it." Take a look at your health, let me and my cousin... feel at ease."

As he spoke, he curled his lips and looked at Qiao Rong again: "...what does my cousin think?"

Qiao Rong was stunned, blinked, and then nodded.

The Empress Dowager's body is indeed very important.

The queen mother was quite flattered, and then she wanted to cry.

How long has it been since the son took the initiative to care about himself?

So she stood up and said: "The Ai family will go back first. They are really tired after being out for so long. Yan'er, you and Ah Rong will take a look at these portraits again."

As she said that, she paused, and then she instructed: "Take good care of A Rong."

Qi Yan nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Queen Mother."

Only then did the queen mother leave Shi Shiran.
